Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 633

"The Lippert family needs to give us shareholders an explanation today!"

Under intense pressure in the brightly lit office, Jason's face turned ashen as he started coughing violently.

Heidi Lippert stormed out, glaring pointedly at Ludwik. "Why are all you shareholders blocking my dad? The decision was made by Ludwik! Besides, do you think the Lippert family isn't anxious? We're about to lose our position as the leading family!"

Riley sharply interjected, "Enough with the arguing. Right now, we need to find out who the mole is, the one who stole and destroyed the lab data."

"What's the use of locking the barn after the horse is stolen? Finding the mole might get them jailed, but the Lippert family's position is definitely in jeopardy," a shareholder retorted with heavy sarcasm. "Tomorrow morning, the companies we had contracts with will come knocking. How can we not compensate them? If we don't, we'll be facing lawsuits, which will tarnish our company's reputation. If we do compensate, how will the company survive? Bankruptcy?"

"Have you all yelled enough?"

Ludwik's cold voice silenced the room. His imposing aura, honed from years of leadership, filled the space. Stepping out from the crowd, the overhead lights cast a stark glow on his defined features, his eyes glinting with frost.

"I will not let the Lippert family go bankrupt. I will find out who destroyed the chip data-And if I find that mole, I'll make their life a living hell!"

As he spoke, his gaze, sharp as a leopard's, cut straight to Justin, who stood behind Riley, his previously amused expression vanishing in an instant.

He scoffed, "Big brother, why bother looking for a mole? It's your friend, Parker!"

"The mole can't be Parker. It must be you!"

Ludwik's gaze made Justin pale, "You're talking nonsense!"

"You and Parker left the lab at the same time. It's not yet clear who took the chips. Parker and I are brothers in arms; he would never betray me. I swear it. Justin, you've always been lazy, and now you're using Parker as a scapegoat, causing him trouble. What exactly happened in the lab that day? Out with it!"

and Jarvis was there too. We all know Jarvis has close ties with the Patrick family. Parker has joined them! Just today, I heard the Patrick Group, with a market value of nine hundred billion, suddenly topped the Hurun List, becoming the wealthiest. That's not even the worst part. Weiman Technologies has given the chip rights in Harmonia Country to the Patrick Group! This means any company in Harmonia wanting chips will have to work with the Patrick Group. After Ludwik disrupted the Patrick Group's finances, they've held a grudge against the Lippert family. Now,
